I assume you’re responding the pp with the ASD tween. That’s me. I’m going to listen to the experts thanks. When ASD is diagnosed late, and mom has been blamed for over a decade for the ASD behaviors and told that she just needs to be a better parent, yes, a lot of ASD behaviors can turn into struggles with rage.

ASD presents differently in everyone. [/quote]

OP here. This is common from what I've read- the ASD behaviors get blamed on spouse. As for person who asked about diagnosis- I said in the original post we had talked to many therapists, and professional opinions can be given without a full diagnosis (a lengthy and pricey pricess that not everyone wants to go through despite their family's wishes). Gotta love it when the husband's sibling asks "well, do you think he has aspergers?" ASD wasn't well know a few decades ago, so....

To person who asked about how my husband would deal with taking care of DC after a divorce: he deeply loves his child and would not drop him. Now would he remember meal and bedtimes regularly, to have the right clothes/school supplies ready for the season/activity/size - a challenge.

I admit to being blown away by the responses. I know there are ASD/neorotypical support groups, but that would never fly.[/quote]
